thanks everyone. i seemed to have to set the idle a little higher than the 500 rpms on the rocherster. it was pulling 17" of hg at idle. i forgot i still have to run the "heat to the bottom of the intake. it has been warm enough here i didn't think it would make too much difference. sorry i forgot to mention it has the clifford intake and headers. it is running pretty good i just wanted it to be just right before i started to drive it. the guy that inspected it barked the tires pulling out of the garage. i thought running it a little too rich might not bee good for the engine. thanks again, hoggyrubber
